“Accept mystery.”

In 1967, Larry Gopnik (Michael Stuhlbarg), a physics professor at a quiet Midwestern university, learns that his wife Judith (Sari Lennick) is leaving him for Sy Ableman (Fred Melamed). His brother Arthur (Richard Kind) is sleeping on the couch, and Larry goes looking for some kind of answer to why this is happening to him. Joel and Ethan Coen put him in the middle of a Minnesotan Jewish community that has a ready word for everything and no help to offer.
